This was my first on Royal Caribbean. The ship is beautiful and the crew was wonderful. On the flip side the food was well below average. There was a large amount of solicitation. You would be bothered at dinner or while enjoying a drink. We were constantly barraged to do the chef's dinner or to eat at the specialty restaurants. They were also very vested in you shopping in ports.

In St. Maarten we were told by crew members that we should not attempt to go to Maho Beach that it was on the French side of the Island where they only take Euros and it would take hours to get there and back. Instead they recommended we go to the little beach near the port..where we could shop! We went to Maho beach. A, It is on the Dutch side and accept all currency B. we got there in 15 minutes and back in 20 minutes.

Again, overall not a bad cruise just average. I will not go on RC again. I have been on Norwegian and Carnival and would rank both higher.
